WHAT IS A DUMMY HOTEL BOOKING?
A Real Hotel Reservation at $3
A dummy hotel booking is a verified hotel reservation created through major booking platforms that can be confirmed by embassies and visa centers. It includes a real confirmation number, hotel name and address, check-in and check-out dates, and guest details — everything an embassy needs to verify your accommodation plans during your trip.
Most visa applications — especially Schengen, UK, and Japan — explicitly require proof of accommodation as part of the document checklist. The Schengen visa requirements state: "Proof of accommodation: hotel reservation, rental agreement, or invitation letter." A dummy hotel booking satisfies this requirement with a real, verifiable reservation.
When you order a dummy hotel booking from DTR, you receive a professional confirmation document that includes: your full name as the guest, the hotel name and full address, check-in and check-out dates matching your travel itinerary, a real confirmation/booking number, room type and number of guests, and a professional PDF ready to submit with your visa application.
The booking confirmation number can be verified on major hotel booking platforms. Embassy visa officers routinely check accommodation confirmations — our bookings appear as valid, confirmed reservations in these systems. This is the difference between a real dummy booking and a fake PDF: ours can be verified, fakes cannot.
At $3 per booking, a dummy hotel reservation eliminates the financial risk of pre-paying for accommodation before your visa is approved. Hotel cancellation policies can cost $50-$200 if plans change. Our $3 booking gives you verified proof without the commitment. Once your visa is approved, you're free to book any hotel you actually want.
Pro tip: Combine your dummy hotel booking with our dummy flight ticket for a complete visa application package at just $8 total. That's verified proof of travel AND accommodation for less than the cost of a single meal.
